PURPOSE: Current research seeks to create an economic model that connects strategic management and network theory. However, most theoretical models do not provide empirical evidence of network relationships’ real structure and attributes. The purpose of the paper is to explore the relation between enterprise characteristics and the characteristics of buyer–supplier relationships in supply chain networks. We are specifically interested in business relationships in networks with respect to the various enterprises’ sizes and sectors of industry. The subject of our research was characteristics, such as network relationship complexity, continuity of relationships, and strategic management in networks. The paper summarizes the results of an empirical study on buyer-supplier networks and accentuates the importance of developing and fostering business collaboration for strategic management. METHODOLOGY: We conducted the questionnaire research in 2016–2019 on 360 enterprises from the Czech Republic. We selected the research sample based on the non-probability purposive sampling method. The members of the research team collected data from an online survey and personal visits to enterprises. The statistical analysis of hypotheses is based on the frequency of managers’ answers. To evaluate results, a two-proportion Z-Test is used for comparing different categories of enterprises according to their enterprise size or prevailing sector of the industry. FINDINGS: The main results show that the differences between enterprises involved in the buyer–supplier structures lie mainly in their size. The survey did not identify differences between industry sectors. The findings show that the complexity of networks in the Czech Republic is not high in terms of the number of suppliers or involvement in many supply networks. The continuity of relationships with partners in buyer–supplier networks is relatively long-term oriented. Long-term partnerships reflect the higher quality of relationships and support future integration. However, large enterprises prefer to build contracts for shorter or longer periods. An overall decentralization strategy characterizes the strategic management of buyer–supplier networks. This finding means dividing competencies such as planning, managing, sourcing, decision-making, transporting (delivering) among more enterprises. IMPLICATIONS FOR THEORY AND PRACTICE: The paper provides an insight into understanding how the buyer–supplier network functions. The theory’s implication builds on the connection of supply chain management and strategic management from the network perspective. Supply chain management is viewed as a part of strategic management, and the synthesis of both research areas opens an innovative view to business theory. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: The paper’s principal value is the connection between contemporary ideas of strategic management and supply chain management. The synthesis of supply chain management and network approach enhances strategic management theory.

This article outlines the evolution of Czech social pedagogy from its origins in the 19 th century to the present day. The development of social pedagogy has been non-linear and very slow. The socio-political situation in Central and Eastern Europe after 1989 brought substantial changes, to which educational thinking, theory and practice began to adapt. This was expressed by the fact that social pedagogy started to present itself as an independent educational discipline, study subject and profession. The article aims to present nationally significant authors who have had a marked influence on the development of social pedagogy. Well-known authors of theories are briefly introduced in the text, including their publications, as well as authors of research and important pedagogues involved in the practice. Current concepts of Czech social pedagogy, reflecting various philosophical starting points and ideas on the profession of social pedagogue are presented. Despite these different starting points and concepts, an agreement is reached as regards the primary task of social pedagogy as a preventive activity (by means of educational measures) and support for social cohesion.

This paper reports on the post-audit practices of organisations in the Czech Republic. Much of the earlier published empirical research has been conducted in Australia, Canada, the USA, and Western Europe. Only recently, attention has been given to emerging markets, including Eastern European accession/transition countries. This exploratory study's main objective is to identify CZ companies' post-audit practices and obtain opinions on various post-audit issues. It also seeks to assess if these practices mirror those adopted by more developed economies. The research adopts interview, questionnaire, and descriptive statistical analysis approaches. The results present some interesting findings which are of value to both academics and practitioners. Although at the fringe of the general understanding of logistics, project management is a vital part. The authors believe that this is one of the first papers to focus on CZ post-audit practices and fills an important gap in the applied logistics literature.

Lifetime Value

We live in a time of permanent change resulting from the turbulence of business environment. Companies operate on markets with increasing competition. One of the key areas of marketing competencies thus becomes the ability of analytical work resulting from the growing volume of information. Using the differentiated CRM strategy for the correct setting of corporate strategy is not possible without systematic, targeted and contextual processing of information from various sources.The customer has become the most valuable asset of the company. Companies are trying to build long-term relationships with their customers. Marketing managers must be able to measure, analyse and optimize the key elements affecting the development of the portfolio of customers, and identify key factors with a positive effect on growing the customer value. For small and medium-sized businesses that usually do not have big teams of specialists and thousands of customers, it is particularly true. Understanding the benefits of working with customer value and its application in creating a marketing strategy for companies operating in B2B markets is the main step that can determine the success of the company.The aim of this article is following the basic theoretical background focused on the customer lifetime value to analyse secondary sources on this issue for B2B markets in the Czech Republic. Furthermore, to provide first findings from the ongoing research in the segment of small and medium-sized companies operating in the information technology market in the Czech Republic.
